15. GeekBench result

This is a cross-platform benchmark that measures the performance of the CPU. (Source: Primate Labs, 2018)

6152

Intel Core i7-6950X: 51251

16. Has AES

AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.

Intel Core i7-3540M

77% have it

17. DirectX version

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

11

Intel Core i7-8709G: 12

18. Has dynamic frequency scaling

Dynamic frequency scaling is a technology that allows the processor to conserve power and reduce noise when it is under a light load.

Intel Core i7-3540M

92% have it

19. Uses hyperthreading technology

Many of Intel's processors use hyperthreading, which means that each core of the processor can work on two threads at once instead of most processors which work on a single thread per core. This means you can have significant performance gains in certain applications.

Intel Core i7-3540M

56% have it

20. L3 cache

A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

4MB

Intel Xeon E7-8893 v4: 60MB

21. memory channels

More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.

2

Intel Xeon Gold 5115: 6

22. Supports hardware-assisted virtualization

It is easier to obtain better performance when using virtualization if it is hardware-assisted.

Intel Core i7-3540M

94% have it

23. Has Tri-Gate transistors

An advanced transistor technology developed by Intel that allows lower power consumption and higher speeds.
